The Lost Girl King (2022)
Catherine Doyle
"Nobody writes peril, wit and wonder as well as Catherine Doyle - a modern Diana Wynne Jones."
thumb
Dark Lullaby (2021)
Polly Ho-Yen
"Polly Ho-Yen masterfully balances eerie, dream-like prose with a distressingly realistic portrayal of a world where reproductive right has become reproductive responsibility. To be a parent is to live with your heart outside your body and, through smart world-building, memorable characters and sharp insight, Dark Lullaby perfectly encapsulates the power and terror of that love."
